On the Red Sox, it’s not just Sale that’s a believer in the routine. The Pilates wave has rippled throughout the clubhouse from Sale to David Price to Mitch Moreland and Chris Young.

“A big part of what makes me, me is flexibility,” Sale said. “Obviously, I don’t have big muscles, I’m not this big guy so I like to stay flexible, that’s kind of my craft if you will. The more I can build strength and maintain flexibility, the better off I am.”

It became such an important aspect of players’ offseason workouts, the Red Sox purchased a Pilates reformer, which is the machine that helps increase the intensity of the workouts with resistance of springs and levers.

Fact. I'm obsessed with Maiden Lane Studios. Not in the creepy, restraining order type of way...but in the go 6-times a week type of way. I'll be honest, I never truly got the whole barre craze...until coming here. The classes are amazing (to the credit of the kick-ass instructors), and the studio is absolutely beautiful.

Maiden Lane Studios is the absolute best for Pilates and Barre Classes in San Francisco. I was introduced to the studio last year through lululemon and so glad I found my go-to place for an incredible strength training workout. It's like you're in someone's living room as the decor and feel of the place is so gorgeous and inviting.

I've tried other barre classes in the city and felt bored because they seemed the same, class after class. Not here. Every class challenges you and each instructor has something great to offer. I also LOVE that they offer more than just barre. Yoga, check. Pilates, check. It's a dream studio come true.

Beautiful, uber clean and most importantly an amazing talented and caring staff to make your every goal a reality. I have some very specific needs and have been challenged and accommodated beyond my expectations. Would never consider anywhere else...They create a supportive and positive environment unlike any other studio I've tried. Love it here!

I have been practicing Pilates since 2006, and the program at Maiden Lane Studios is hands down the best I have ever experienced.
